Safety Electrostatic discharge considerations
Precautions
The following list of precautions should be observed when handling circuit packs to
prevent damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD):
• Assume all circuit packs contain solid state electronic components that can be
damaged by ESD.
• Work in an area which is protected against electrostatic discharge. Use conducting
floor and bench mats which are conductively connected to the rack ESD bonding
point.
• Wear conductively connected wrist straps and connect them to the rack ESD
bonding point.
• Handle all circuit packs by the faceplate or latch and by the top and bottom
outermost edges. Never touch the components, conductors, or connector pins.
• Observe warning labels on bags and cartons. Whenever possible, do not remove
circuit packs from antistatic packaging until ready to insert them into slots.
• If possible, open all circuit packs at a static-safe work position, using properly
grounded wrist straps and static-dissipating table mats. If a static-dissipating table
mat is used, be sure that it is clean to ensure a good discharge path.
• Always store and transport circuit packs in static-safe packaging. Shielding is not
required unless specified.
• Ensure that the rack is grounded.
• Keep all static-generating materials such as food wrappers, plastics, and foam
packaging away from all circuit packs. On removal from the shelf, immediately put
circuit packs into static-safe packages.
• Whenever possible, maintain relative humidity above 20 percent.

Safety
Laser safety
In its normal operating mode, a lightwave system is totally enclosed and presents no
risk of eye injury. It is a Laser Class 1/I product under the IEC schemes.
The Lightguide cables that interconnect various components of a lightwave system can
be disconnected or break, and may expose people to lightwave emission. Also, certain
measures and service procedures may expose the technician to emission from the laser
circuit pack during installation and servicing.
Observe the following instructions to avoid exposing yourself and others to risk:
• Don’t look into the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector as long as the
optical source is still switched on. Even for Class 1 lasers viewing with the unaided
eye at distances greater than 250 mm (≈10 inches) will normally not cause eye
injury.
• Under no circumstances lightwave/lightguide operations shall be performed by a
technician before satisfactorily completing an approved training course. Only
authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to carry out service, maintenance
and restoration activities.
• Read the relevant descriptions in the manuals before taking equipment into
operation or carrying out any installation and maintenance work on the optical
packs, and follow the instructions. Ignoring the instructions can result in exposure
to dangerous radiation.
• If you are not sure that the fiber is connected to a Laser Class I product ensure that
the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors.
• Under no circumstances shall any personnel scan a fiber with an optical test set
without verifying that all lightwave sources on the fiber are turned off or that the
test set is specially approved for this test.
• In the event of doubt, check that the optical source is switched off by measuring
with an optical power meter.
Warning symbol:
CAUTION
Components with lasers and fibers
Although, at present, the transmitting power levels for Laser Class 1 are below those
known to cause injury to the eye at distances greater than 250 mm ( ~10 inches) direct
exposure should always be avoided.
Always observe the laser warning instructions (see instructions below)

Safety Laser safety guidelines
Classification of lasers
The laser classes are defined in standards such as EC 60825 (or EN 60825) and its
supplements. A maximum laser radiation is defined for each laser class according to
the wavelength. The maximum laser radiation depends on the type of laser diode used.
This results in different laser classes for the various optical plug-in units.
These standards require manufacturers to classify their laser products as belonging to
one of the major classes, classes 1, 2, 3A, and 3B. Manufacturers of lasers and laser
products in the U.S. are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for
Devices and Radiological Health FDA/CDRH) under 21 CFR 1040. Classification
schemes are similar to the IEC with categories such as class I, II, lla, IlIa or lllb. In
both cases, laser products are classified according to the accessible emission levels and
their potential for causing injury.
Laser classes to IEC 60825 and DIN/EN 60825
Optical transmission systems are identified by yellow laser warning labels on which
only the laser class (see the labels below ) is indicated.
Lightwave systems are generally classified as class 1/I, because, under normal
operating conditions, all energized laser transmitting circuit packs are terminated on
optical fibers which enclose the laser energy with the fiber sheath forming a protective
housing. Also, covers are typically in place over the circuit pack shelves.
The label shown below is used to identify systems belonging to laser class 1 in normal
operation.

LASER PRODUCT
Appropriate labels are also available for the remaining laser classes (k x 3A, 3B); each
label indicates the laser class, wavelength and maximum laser radiation. These labels
are affixed in a clearly visible position on the equipment.
The following laser warning symbols can be affixed to the optical packs. The optical
connectors from which laser radiation can be emitted can be identified by a laser
warning symbol near the connector:
Due to lack of space, laser warning labels cannot be affixed to the potential source of
laser radiation, that is, directly to the optical connectors.
Handling fibers
Never look into the end of an exposed fiber or optical connector of a pack as long as
the optical source is switched on. Always observe the laser warning instructions.
Splicing
Cutting and splicing fibers must be followed and performed by trained personnel only.
Read and understand all instructions of the manual of the splicing and cutting
equipment.
After cutting/splicing, every splice has to be checked. Follow the instructions of the
manual of the splicing and cutting equipment.

2 I2nitial system turn-up and
service activation
Overview
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
Firstly, this chapter provides general information about the system. That includes:
• Important general notes about the system
• Configuration considerations for the different AnyMedia shelf types
• Information about OAM&P connectivity.
Then this chapter provides information about procedures for system turn-up and service
activation.
The procedures that have to be performed for initial system turn-up, depend on the
configuration mode of the IP subsystem (controlled or stand-alone) and on the
controller type (IPFM or ESIM in LAG 200 Shelf). You will find for each of these
turn-up types a flowchart followed by a set of links that points to the applicable
detailed procedure descriptions in the correct sequence.

Turn-up procedures
The initial system turn-up introduces each section with a flowchart that graphically
displays the order of the turn-up procedures. Then follows an ordered sequence of links
to the applicable turn-up procedures.
Save to NVDS
Important! After each set of provisioning operations, the provisioning data must be
written to NVDS. If it is not written to NVDS, the provisioning data will be lost
when the IPFM or AP pack is reset or removed and reinserted.
Assumption
For some functions (LED test, pack polling or inventory data) a COMDAC and for
metallic line testing additionally a CIU/CTU are required in the LAG shelf. The IP
packs have to be provisioned on the COMDAC too. It is assumed that COMDAC and
CIU/CTU have been inserted and that COMDAC and CIU/CTU and the IP packs have
been provisioned on the COMDAC as described in the Commands and Procedures for
narrowband services.

Initial system turn-up and service activation
Overview
The Commands and Procedures for IP-based Services apply to all IP-based services in
the AnyMedia Access System, independent of the shelf type used:
• AnyMedia ® LAG 1900 Shelf
• AnyMedia ® LAG 4300 Shelf
• AnyMedia ® LAG 200 Shelf
• AnyMedia ® ETSI V5 Shelf (consider limitations on support of IP-based services)
• AnyMedia ® LAG 2300 Shelf
• AnyMedia FAST Shelf (consider limitations on support of IP-based services).
Although the principle of turn-up and operations and maintenance is the same for the
different LAG Shelf types, there are some differences to consider regarding:
• Physical design and IPFM/ESIM type used
• Slot numbering
• Access Identifiers.

OAM&P Connectivity
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Overview
This section describes the maintenance interfaces for operations, administration,
maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) of the AnyMedia ® Access System related to
IP-based services.
Where to access the system for OAM&P activities, depends on whether the packs
operate in controlled mode or in stand-alone mode.
In controlled mode the interfaces used are located on the IPFM (or on the ESIM if the
ESIM is used in controller mode in a LAG 200 Shelf). The following OAM&P
interfaces are provided:
• 100Base-T port (outband)
• Inband management channel
• CONSOLE port (for initial system turn-up)
For stand-alone mode the OAM&P interfaces used are located on the individual APs.
The following table shows as an overview the subscriber interfaces, the network
interfaces (for stand-alone mode and for controlled mode) and the OAM&P interfaces
used in each mode.
Note that not all IP APs support stand-alone mode and that not all IP APs provide the
same management ports.

Initial system turn-up and service activation
Overview
This section contains links to all procedures for provisioning IP COMDAC APs
(ICAPs) in order to transport TDM traffic across an IP network. Note that the
procedures have to be performed in the correct order.
The ICAP provides the same VoIP capabilities as the VoIP AP.
For background information and most useful references to provision service activation
over ICAP see “Background – ICAP table interrelations” (p. 2-30).
Procedures
Assumptions
Make sure that the following assumptions are fulfilled:
• The E1/DS1 cabling is already installed in the rack.
• The shelf is powered and, if the pack will operate in controlled mode, the shelf is
equipped with an IP controller that is provisioned already.
• The AP slot in the Shelf has been provisioned for an ICAP.
For service activation follow these procedures:
1. “Provision ICAP parameters ” (p. 7-113) and “Provision VLANs, IP addresses and
Routing on ICAP” (p. 7-157) this also includes the provisioning of multiple IP
addresses within the ICAP.
2. “Provision/retrieve ICAP profiles ” (p. 7-125)
3. “Provision/retrieve network protocol parameters ” (p. 7-130)
4. “Provision/retrieve SIP port parameters on an ICAP ” (p. 7-148).
5. “Provision/retrieve H.248 port parameters on an ICAP ” (p. 7-138)
6. “Provision/retrieve MGCP port parameters on an ICAP ” (p. 7-143)
7. “Provision/retrieve feeder parameters on an ICAP ” (p. 7-118)
8. “Provision duplex ICAPs in controlled mode or stand-alone mode (optional)”
(p. 7-155) Note that in a duplex configuration do not connect E1/DS1 cables to the
ICAP before the ICAP has been set to “duplex”.
9. “Provision parameters for V5.2 aggregation on an ICAP ” (p. 7-165)
10. Follow the “Wiring for ICAPs” (p. 7-174) procedure to connect E1/DS1 cables to
the ICAP(s).
If the provisioning of L2 functionality is required (e.g. creation of VLANs) refer also
to Chapter 3, “Support L2 and L3 functionality”.

Each VLAN must be on a different subnet.
Static Routes
• Route_Index = 1 is the ICAP’s main default route.
• All static (non-default-gateway) routes must be added to Route_Index = 1
Route Policy Tab A route policy should be provisioned for each default gateway defined in the static route
table. (Note: A route policy is optional for static route index 1 since it is the ICAP’s main
default route.)
The Source_IP_Addr must match the ICAP’s IP addresses (Management, Call Control and
RTP) exactly.

Initial system turn-up and service activation
Overview
By default, the ICAP and the VoIP APs are configured in controlled mode. When
required, the controlled mode has to be changed to stand-alone mode during system
turn-up.
In stand-alone mode several functions which are usually performed by the IP controller
have to be done by the APs. In this mode the APs are self-managed packs which can
be housed in any AnyMedia shelf. Faceplate connections are used for all IP traffic and
OAM&P data.
The ICAP supports simplex or duplex operation. For duplex operation in stand-alone
mode the FE2 ports of both ICAPs have to be connected via a LAN crossover cable.
From the management point of view, each AP in stand-alone mode (or each pair of
ICAPs in duplex mode) is a separate NE and needs to be accessible via the GSI
individually. For the description of how to access the AP via the GSI see the “System
Access via GSI ” (p. 7-14) procedure.
Assumptions
Make sure that the following assumptions are fulfilled:
• The a/b cabling is already installed in the rack.
• The shelf is powered.
• If the ICAPs operate in duplex mode, the preferred one resides in an odd numbered
slot and the non-preferred ICAP resides in the even numbered slot to the right.
• If the ICAP operates in simplex mode, it is recommended to install the first ICAP
in the odd numbered slot (preferred slot) and leave the even numbered slot to the
right empty, to be prepared for the future use of the ICAP duplex future.

Overview
The IP subsystem supports several Layer 3 and Layer 2 functionalities.
The following Layer 2 functionality is supported:
• VLAN configuration
• MAC Learning
• Spanning tree.
The following Layer 3 functionality is supported:
• Static route
• IGMP snooping
• Trace route.
Each of the following blocks includes the links to the detailed procedure descriptions
that apply to this functionality.
VLAN configuration
Procedures that are related to VLAN creation include:
• “Create/modify a VLAN ” (p. 7-239)
• “Provision/Disable broadcast storm control ” (p. 7-252).
Note that VLAN provisioning on VoIP APs and on ICAPs is handled differently. It is
already included in the procedures used for activating VoIP service or service over
ICAPs and does not require further activities.
MAC learning
The IP packs (except the VoIP APs) internally maintain a table with the MAC
addresses that are learned from the network (dynamic MAC addresses).
It is also possible to provision secure MAC addresses in the table directly by the
operator (static MAC addresses).
MAC Learning is described in:
• “Provision/Delete MAC address learning ” (p. 7-248)

Support L2 and L3 functionality Related procedures
Spanning tree
When uplinks are configured using spanning tree, one of the links is considered to be a
redundant connection and is placed in the blocked state by one node in the spanning
tree, that means, no traffic is forwarded to it.
A spanning tree protocol group may be provisioned during initial system turn-up.
The procedure is described in:
• “Provision spanning tree protocol group (optional) ” (p. 7-54)
Static route
Routers forward packets to the destination addresses based on information from static
routes or dynamic routing protocols. The IPFM supports up to 256 static route entries.
The procedure how to set up a static route is described in:
• “Provision/Delete static route” (p. 7-251)
IGMP snooping
The purpose of IGMP snooping is to restrain multicast traffic in a switched network.
With IGMP snooping enabled, the switch intercepts IGMP messages from the host
itself and updates its MAC table accordingly.
Provisioning of IGMP snooping is described in:
• “Provision/Disable IGMP snooping ” (p. 7-254)
DHCP relay
If DHCP services are used to distribute dynamic IP addresses to the APs and they are
not located in the same subnet as the APs, the IPFM can act as a DHCP relay between
the DHCP requests of the APs and the DHCP servers.
The procedure how to provision/delete the IP addresses is described in:
• “Provision/Delete addresses in DHCP relay ” (p. 7-247)
Trace route
The procedure how to trace the route through a network is described in:
• “Trace route” (p. 7-257)

Overview
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
The following chapter provides some general recommendations for quality of service
(QoS) provisioning on the IP subsystem and points to the related procedures.
The QoS provisioning is different for different pack types. Therefore links are provided
to detailed procedure descriptions. The procedure descriptions include information
about how to provision the classifier tables, the classification rules and the scheduler
on the IPFM and how to set up classification rules and provision the scheduler on
VSIM APs.
For VoIP APs and ICAPs all settings that have to be done for QoS provisioning are
already included in the procedures used for activating VoIP service or service over
ICAPs and do not require further activities.
Nevertheless, for completeness reasons these settings are summarized additionally here,
within the QoS considerations.

363-211-555 4-1
Issue 10, September 2008
Quality of service
Strategy
For QoS provisioning on the IP subsystem the following is recommended:
1. Assign VoIP traffic to a dedicated VLAN.
This isolates the traffic from subscriber data traffic and it permits to provision a
concise classifier to match VoIP traffic. Otherwise, it is difficult to provision a
classifier, because signaling (SIP/H.248) uses a deterministic port #, but RTP
packets can be assigned to thousands of port values.
2. The VLAN assignment can be made
• on the IPFM with untagged uplinks from the VoIP APs, or
• on the IPFM and on the APs using tagged uplinks.
Both VLAN assignment options are supported. Tagged uplinks permit 802.1p
priority to be set on the APs, but this provides no clear advantage.
3. Construct a classifier to match the VoIP VLAN number.
If SIP signaling is used and it is desired to provide differentiated QoS for
emergency services, then provision multiple classifiers to match all combinations of
the VoIP VLAN and TOS octet. Also, provision the TOS values on the APs.
4. Assign the classified VoIP traffic to high-priority queues.
If WRR scheduling is used, then allocate bandwidth for the VoIP service class.
5. Assure that default classifiers are defined for subscriber data packets.
The subscriber data traffic must be assigned to lower-priority queues than VoIP
traffic. Optionally re-mark the subscriber data packets.

Quality of service
Overview
As mentioned, all settings that have to be done for QoS provisioning for VoIP APs are
already included in the procedures used for VoIP service activation.
Nevertheless, for completeness reasons these settings are summarized additionally here,
within the QoS considerations.
The VoIP pack offers QoS on three levels:
• VLAN tagging and 802.1q priority
• IP TOS settings
• Subscriber priority.
The three levels are provisioned independently from each other.
VLAN support
QoS based on VLAN tagging only affects data transmission in the network. VoIP pack
operation is only affected as frames might not be accepted.
If VLAN administration is enabled:
• All frames will be sent VLAN tagged.
• Only tagged frames with the correct VLAN ID are accepted, other frames are
dropped.
• Only 1 VLAN ID is supported using a single 802.1q priority for all ports on the
pack.
• IPFM QoS settings must match VoIP configuration.
If VLAN administration is disabled:
• All frames will be sent untagged.
• Only untagged frames are accepted.
IP TOS support
TOS settings will only affect data transmission in the IP network as the VoIP pack is
no possible point of congestion for downstream data.
Four different data types with individual TOS settings exist:
• Normal call control data (for call setup)
• Normal call RTP data (for voice)
• Emergency call control data (for call setup)
• Emergency call RTP data (for voice)
All ports on a pack use the same TOS configuration. As a rule, the TOS for emergency
calls should be higher than those for normal calls The TOS settings for the classes
define the complete TOS byte. Therefore the provisionable range is 0{255.

Issue 10, September 2008
Quality of service VoIP AP provisiong for QoS
Subscriber priority
Subscriber priority defines a possible limitation of system resources for subscribers of
different classes. This may affect data transmission and is therefore regarded as part of
QoS.
• Four classes are defined:
– Emergency
– Urgent
– Normal
– Non-urgent.
• For each class, the maximum percentage of system performance allowed can be
provisioned (threshold).
• 100% equals 36 RTP streams.
• The sum of all settings can exceed 100%
• There is a strict priority among the four classes. If high-priority users consume all
RTP streams, then lower-priority users are denied service.
• Existing calls are not disrupted.
• If a new RTP stream would exceed the provisioned threshold, the call setup is
rejected. The originating subscriber will receive an announcement or tones to
indicate that the call attempt is denied.

Operations, administration and maintenance functions Related procedures
Inventory management
Inventory management information for the IPFM and the IP APs can be retrieved via
the IPFM as soon as the packs have been inserted. A technician sees a graphical
representation of the AnyMedia ® LAG Shelves populated with IPFM pack(s) and IP
APs on the GSI .
In mixed configurations, inventory management information for IP packs, as well as
TDM narrowband APs, can also be retrieved via the COMDAC. A technician, logged
into the COMDAC, sees a graphical representation of the AnyMedia ® LAG Shelves
populated with both TDM narrowband and IP APs on the GSI. A technician in a mixed
configuration, when connected to the IPFM, sees a graphical representation of the
AnyMedia ® LAG Shelves populated with IP APs only on the GSI.
Inventory management in the IP subsystem is supported by the following procedure:
• “Retrieve IP Equipment” (p. 7-328)
Performance management
Performance management is the system activity for collecting and reporting data on the
quality of transmission. The IP subsystem supports remote monitoring (RMON)
according to RFC1757.
It contains statistics measured by the probe for each monitored Ethernet interface on
the device.
Currently, performance management in the IP subsystem is supported by the following
procedures:
• “Retrieve RMON statistics” (p. 7-330)
The following procedure applies to the system performance of the IP subsystem:
• “Provision/deprovision CPU utilization alarm” (p. 7-326).
Fault management
Fault management is the system activity for operations that cover the following:
• Maintenance — automatic and manual activities to ensure continued operation and
minimize service degradation.
• Alarms — equipment and facility monitoring that results in alarms.
• Protection switching
– IPFM protection
Automatic switch from a failing IPFM to a standby IPFM when a fault is
detected on the active IPFM
– Uplink protection
Automatic switch from the active IPFM to a standby IPFM when a fault is
detected on any uplink of the active IPFM. The uplinks that shall be used after
the side switch are provisionable.
– 1:N POTS circuit protection
• Testing — turn-up tests and on-demand circuit testing.

Overview
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
This chapter contains an alarm description for each alarm that may be raised in the IP
subsystem and leads to the applicable trouble clearing procedures. The alarm
descriptions show which alarm strings may be provided by the IP subsystem, inform
about the possible causes, the impact on service and the default severity of these
alarms.
The alarm descriptions are grouped into several categories. The last paragraph of each
alarm description directly leads to the corresponding trouble clearing procedure which
is included later in this chapter.

Alarms and trouble clearing
Purpose
This procedure is used to clear an alarm that is raised in duplex IPFM mode due to
different software on the standby IPFM and the active IPFM. It must be cleared
because the system is not protected in this condition.
After completion of this procedure the correct software version is running in the IP
subsystem and the same IPFM is the active one as at the beginning.
The alarm may be raised in the following scenarios:
• During system turn-up when two IPFMs with different software versions are
inserted
• When upgrading a running system from simplex to duplex IPFM mode
• When software has been swapped from Alternate version to Current version.
• After software download.
The procedure is not service-affecting.
Assumption
Make sure that in a running system the following assumptions are fulfilled:
• The system configuration has been stored to NVDS.
• Duplex operation mode is required.
• The software version on the active IPFM is the required one.
Procedure
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
1 From the menu bar select IP SubSystem -> IP Data -> System -> Software ->
Administration.
Result: The Software Administration window opens. It displays the Current
software versions on both IPFMs and the Alternate software version that is also

Purpose
This procedure is used to clear an alarm that is raised due to different software image
of a certain AP type on the controller flash (IPFM/ESIM) and on the flash of this AP.
After completion of this procedure the same software version is kept on the controller
flash and on the flash of the AP running in the IP subsystem.
Note that the term controller is used whenever the IPFM or ESIM is used as
controller in an IP subsystem.
The alarm may be raised in the following scenarios:
• During system turn-up
• When software on the AP has been swapped from Alternate version to Current
version.
The procedure is service affecting if the flash on the AP must be upgraded.
The procedure is not service-affecting if only the flash on the controller needs to be
upgraded.

Alarms and trouble clearing
Purpose
This procedure is used to clear alarms that are raised when a failure is detected at least
at one uplink (on IPFM/ICAP/ESIM) while carrying service. This alarm is a summary
alarm and may be caused by one or by several IPFM/ESIM uplink failures.
The alarm must be cleared because this failure may result in congestion and traffic
loss.
Note that the IPFM and the ESIM (in a LAG 200 Shelf) can be used as central
controller of the IP subsystem.
Assumption
The technician has access to information about which uplinks are required.

• “GR-303 far end major or critical alarm” (p. 6-34)
• “GR-303 far end minor alarm” (p. 6-35)
The TMC data link handles dynamic call setup and disconnect information. The EOC
data link handles OAM&P information for the GR-303 interface.
These alarms may be raised in an AnyMedia host terminal equipped with ICAP(s) due
to faulty DS1s associated with TMC/EOC data links or unprotected IODS1 fault in an
RT.
They alarms must be cleared because the dynamic call set-up handling and disconnect
information for the RT may interrupted or the OAM&P information for the GR-303
interface is lost.

Alarms and trouble clearing
Purpose
This procedure is used to clear an alarm that is raised for ICAPs in duplex mode due
to different software on the standby ICAP and the active ICAP.
The alarm may be raised in the following scenarios:
• During system turn-up when two ICAPs with different software versions are
inserted.
• When upgrading a running system from simplex to duplex ICAP mode.
In stand-alone mode this alarm will only be raised, when the Autocopy function which
is activated by default has been deactivated for some reason.
The alarm must be cleared because the ICAP and the subtending systems are not
protected in this condition.
The procedure is not service-affecting.
Assumption
Make sure that in a running system the following assumptions are fulfilled:
• The system configuration has been stored to NVDS.
• Duplex operation mode is provisioned.

To reset IP pack
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
This procedure is used for trouble clearing on a pack when other recommended
procedures did not solve the problem.
Apart of trouble clearing, a reset of an ICAP is always required and requested by the
system when IP address, VLAN, H.248 or MGCP provisioning data have been changed
in the Network tab.
Important! Do not unintentionally reset an IPFM in simplex mode or an AP in
stand-alone mode because you will temporarily loose connection and service.
A reset of the active IPFM in duplex mode results in a side switch before the reset.

Alarms and trouble clearing
Purpose
This procedure is used for trouble clearing when the “Required pack mismatch alarm”
is raised for ICAPs in duplex mode. The alarm indicates that the hardware of the two
ICAPs is not compatible.
The alarm must be cleared because traffic cannot be switched from the active ICAP to
the standby ICAP, that means, no protection is effective.
Important! Do not replace the active ICAP because this will interrupt service on
all connected E1/DS1 lines.
Background
Two packs are compatible when the interchangeability code (ICC) is compatible.
The ICC is printed on the top of the faceplate (for example S1:1). Only packs whose
ICCs are the same on the first position are compatible (for example S1:1 is compatible
to S1:2 but not to S2:1).
Procedure
The standby ICAP has to be replaced by an ICAP which is compatible to the active
ICAP.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
1 Check the ICC of the active ICAP and look for another ICAP with a compatible ICC
which can be used to replace the standby ICAP.

• “Incoming E1 signal LOF alarm” (p. 6-61)
• “Incoming E1 signal LOS alarm” (p. 6-62)
• “Remote alarm indication received alarm” (p. 6-63)
Note that the feeder protocol RT_TDM is predefined by the customer key code (CKC).
These alarms may be raised in an AnyMedia system equipped with ICAP(s) due to
faulty E1 link connection(s). The E1 physical feeder ports are E1 circuits that are used
to provide the E1 link connections. The circuitry for each E1 port is located at the
ICAP. The E1 feeder numbers AP-1-{slot #}-{feeder port #} are used to identify these
E1 physical ports for reporting E1 signal faults.
They alarms must be cleared because they may lead to crosstalk or excessive noise on
the E1 links, up to a complete loss of the E1 link connections.
3 In the Feeder Config subtab, conduct a Loopback Action on the appropriate TDM
feeder towards to the access node (AN) or RT.
Note that the E1 loopbacks are executed by using the values operate and release.

Result: When the AP is inserted, all LEDs on the AP light for a short interval,
followed by a flashing of the FAULT LED during AP self-initialization. The
FAULT LED will remain lit red until the cable connectors have been attached. (The
LEDs on the ICAP do not behave this way).
Failure conditions: If the FAULT LED remains dark, check the following possible
causes:
• Is the shelf powered?
Verify that the LEDs POW1 and POW2 on the CIU/CTU are lit.
• Are the shelf fuses faulty?
Refer to the Installation Manuals and check the fuses.
• Is the AP faulty?
Insert another AP and check the LED behavior.
System behavior: If the ICAP (in controlled mode configuration) is not seen by
the IPFM within 5 minutes verify that the ICAP is not provisioned for standalone
mode.

Detailed procedure descriptions
Purpose
This procedure applies to the turn-up of an ICAP or a VoIP AP in stand-alone mode,
that is in configurations where no IP controller is present in the shelf.
This procedure is based on running a script that supports you to change the
configuration mode of the AP to stand-alone mode and to set the management IP
address, the mask and routes on the pack via its serial port.
Note that this procedure does not apply to the LPZ602, because this pack does not
support stand-alone mode.
Required equipment
The following equipment is required:
• PC with a terminal program installed (for example Microsoft Windows Hyper
Terminal)
• A cable to connect the PC to the serial port of the pack
– For an ICAP (LPI600) use the special adapter cable (ED7C873-31 G8) with a
DB9 connector on one side and an RJ45 connector on the pack side.
– For a VoIP AP (LPZ600) use the special adapter cable (ED7C873-31 G13) with
a DB9 connector on one side and an RJ45 connector on the pack side.
Assumption
The IP address, subnet mask and default gateway are known and appropriate to allow
the connection to the PC via the LAN port of the AP after the completion of this
procedure. If this is not the case and you have a Windows® based system, reconfigure
the IP address on the PC accordingly by changing the network settings.
If the pack is an ICAP running in duplex mode, the FE2 ports of both ICAPs are
connected via a LAN crossover cable assembly (ED7C873-31 G7).
Procedure
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
1 Connect the serial port of the PC to the serial port on the faceplate of the pack.
If the pack is an ICAP, then use the special adapter cable and connect the USB like
connector to the CONSOLE port of the pack. Do not use a common USB connector
cable!
If the pack is a VoIP AP, then use the special adapter cable and connect the RJ45
connector to the CONSOLE port of the pack. Do not use a common LAN connector
cable!

Link aggregation builds up a group of physical ports that act as one single logical link.
It is limited to links of the same type and that terminate on the same pack.
Background
Possible link aggregation groups on the IPFM are:
• the two FE uplinks
• the two GbE uplinks.
Possible link aggregation groups on the ESIM are up to four groups of aggregated
physical ports.

Detailed procedure descriptions
Purpose
Use this procedure to provide a connection from the IPFM to the Ethernet transport
network. The IPFM supports two GbE uplinks via GBIC modules and two Fast
Ethernet FE uplinks.
The type of the optical fiber cables depends on the type of GBIC module used.
In this manual, the expression connection to the Ethernet transport network is used as
a general term for a connection to the Edge Switch.
NOTE: The slot numbering is different for AnyMedia LAG Shelf types. For a reference
list refer to “Configuration considerations for the different AnyMedia ® shelf types”
(p. 2-5).
NOTE: This procedure does not apply to the case of using electrical GBICs in the
LAG 2300 Shelf.
Assumptions
• The optical fiber cables to the Edge Switch are installed in the rack.
Note that the optical fiber cable must not be connected to the RX ports unless the
optical power is checked.
• The LBOs (Lightguide Buildout) are installed according to the work order.
• The appropriate optical and electrical GBIC modules are available and the IPFM is
inserted.
Note that the electrical GBIC uses a standard RJ-45 connector.
• When using electrical GBICs in the LAG 1900 Shelf, a LAG 1900 Shelf with a
specific front door must be available on site.
If the specific front door is not available, order the appropriate LAG 1900 shelf
type with the specific front panel assembly or just the specific front panel assembly
if you only want to replace the left door (for ordering identification numbers, see
the Ordering Guide).
Required equipment
The cables for connecting the PC are described in “OAM&P Connectivity” (p. 2-13).
Required equipment for FEs:
• Appropriate twisted pair cables (10/100Base-T) for cabling the IPFMs FE1 and
FE2 uplink port.
Required equipment for the optical GbEs:
• A power meter for measuring the output power at the optical cable.
• A set of optical fiber cable between IPFM and Ethernet transport network.
• Two lightguide buildouts (LBO) as specified in the work order.

Purpose
This procedure provides information on how to wire the VoIP AP LPZ600 with 32
subscriber ports and the 64 port VoIP AP LPZ602, that is wiring information for the
packs when they operate in controlled mode and for the LPZ600 in stand-alone mode.
The LPZ602 does not support stand-alone mode.
This procedure describes:
• How to connect the a/b cables (tip/ring cables) on the subscriber side to the
faceplate of the VoIP APs
• The cabling for the uplink to the IP network. The uplink cabling is required for
stand-alone mode (LPZ600 only).
The connection to the serial port is determined for initial system turn-up in stand-alone
mode only and is therefore described in the procedures for stand-alone mode. The
connection to the serial port does not apply to the LPZ602.
The OAM&P management is done via an inband management channel and does not
require any wiring.

Traffic Statistics
TS Type: BCO BCO This parameter defines the traffic parameter to be retrieved.
BCT BCO and BCT are peg counts, PHTL is the usage (30 second
scan) in CCS for the peak hour, and TCB is the peg count in
PHLT seconds that all channels were busy (i.e. the next call may be
TCB blocked) during the peak hour. Note that the peak hour is
defined by the hour (as measured by the time of day clock) with
the highest PHTL; the TCB value is always associated with this
same hour. CCS stands for Centum Call Second, i.e. 100 call
seconds. A call second is defined as one channel (a DS0 here)
being occupied for 1 second. Thus, each channel can carry a
theoretical maximum load of 36 CCS. The PHTL number is the
sum of a VRT’s DS0s CCS counts and depends only on the DS0
usage. For instance, a DS0 carrying two 100 second calls would
register the same CCS as one carrying one 200 second call.
DS0s used for data links (including the ROC) are not included
in the CCS calculation.
Reset Time & Date: 0..65536 This value represents the date and time where the traffic statistic
data was last reset.
Peak Time & Date: 0..65536 This value represents the date and time of the Peak Traffic hour
and is only applicable for the traffic types PHTL and PCB.
Init Traffic Data: check box Setting this action to ’initialize’ requests to reset the traffic
statistic data. When read this parameter always delivers ’none’.

the sense that first a switch-over is tried to the primary MGC (unless
it was the one that failed), then to backup host 1, then to backup host
2 and so on. i.e. this means that, if a currently used backup host fails,
then the switch-over procedure starts again with the primary MGC
before trying to contact the other backup MGCs.A value of ’0’
disables a self-initiated switch-over between provisioned MGCs due
to this timer .Note that this does not prevent to follow any
’Hand-Off’ procedure initiated by the network or a self-initiated

Purpose
Use this procedure to set ICAPs provisioned in controlled mode or ICAPs provisioned
in stand-alone mode into duplex mode and to enable ICAP uplink protection if
required.
Assumptions
Two ICAPs are inserted in the AnyMedia Shelf.
Two ICAPs in adjacent slots where the left ICAP is inserted in the odd-numbered slot.
The FE2 ports of both ICAPs have to be connected via a LAN crossover cable (for
stand-alone mode only).
Requirements
For duplex mode a Y-cable assembly as described in “OAM&P Connectivity” (p. 2-13)
or a hub is required to connect to the LAN OAM&P port (FE1 port) of both ICAPs.
Procedure
Important! Do not connect E1/DS1 cables to the ICAP before the ICAP has been
set to “duplex”.

Detailed procedure descriptions
Purpose
Use this procedure to assign a dedicated IP address for each traffic type, i.e. RTP,
signaling and, in stand-alone mode, the inband management (OAM&P). That is, each
traffic type can have one dedicated IP address, which can be assigned to a dedicated
VLAN ID.
Configuration examples see “Examples of multiple IP addresses configuration on
ICAP” (p. 7-161).
Background
The operator defines via tables in the ICAP the assignment of the traffic types to IP
addresses and to VLAN IDs. Each traffic type belongs to a separate IP address or
VLAN ID respectively, and is forwarded to the IPFM via the backplane (in controlled
mode) and/or the FE1 uplink. In stand-alone mode the separated data traffic is
forwarded directly to the FE1 uplink on the ICAP.
Configuration example:

Detailed procedure descriptions
Purpose
Use this procedure to create a V5 Interface entity to concentrate subscribers connected
to one or more subtending V5 systems into one VoIP interface of this ICAP.
Two subprocedures must be completed to provision the V5 aggregation on an ICAP:
• “V5 Interface provisioning in ICAP” (p. 7-165)
• “V5 User port provisioning” (p. 7-172).
To create a POTS subscriber entity, see the procedure GR-5610 POTS subscriber
growth in the chapter System Reconfiguration of the Commands and Procedures for
Narrowband Services with TDM COMDAC (363–211–119).
Assumptions
The system is configured via customer key and operates in E1 mode.
All required provisioning is complete.

carries the signaling types ’bcc’, ’common-ctrl’ and ’link-ctrl’, i.e. the communication
channel also cross-connected to Protection Group 1. By cross-connecting a V5 link
time slot to Protection Group 1, this time slot is defined to be used as protection in
case the V5 link, originally carrying this communication channel, fails.
Note that the Protection Group 1 may also carry the PSTN protocol, in this case no
Protection Group 2 is used.
Protection Group 2 is dedicated to protecting the other communication channels, i.e.
the ones which carry the signaling type ’pstn’. By cross-connecting V5 link time slots

Detailed procedure descriptions
Purpose
This procedure provides information on how to wire the ICAP, that is wiring
information for the pack when it operates in controlled mode and for stand-alone
mode, for simplex and for duplex operation mode. It covers E1/DS1 cabling as well as
the uplink cabling to the IP network.
This procedure contains four subprocedures which describe - dependent on the
configuration - the following:
• The cabling for a simplex configuration in controlled mode.
• The cabling for a simplex configuration in stand-alone mode.
• The cabling for a duplex configuration in controlled mode.
• The cabling for a duplex configuration in stand-alone mode.
Note, that in some cases it is important to do the cabling in the right order. In a duplex
configuration do not connect the E1/DS1 cables before the ICAP is set to duplex.
Additionally to the four subprocedures the procedure provides information about the
required cables and it shows several wiring examples.
The OAM&P management is done via an inband management channel and does not
require any wiring.
Important! Do not use a common USB connector! Always use the special adapter
cable (ED7C873-31 G8) to connect to the CONSOLE connector on this pack.
Although the CONSOLE connector below the FAULT LED looks like a USB
connector, it is not a USB connector. It will not work if a laptop is connected, but
attaching a true USB host or peripheral to this port may damage the USB drivers
of this device or the pack.
The connection to the serial port is determined for initial system turn-up in
stand-alone mode only.
Cables
Depending on the configuration (simplex or duplex) and the operation mode the
following cables are required to connect to the ICAP(s):

Notes:
1. The “Buddy” connector (B DS1/E1) is for future use.
2. The connector M DS1/E1 on the faceplate supports 8 Tx/Rx feeders each.
Note that for special applications additional cables may be required. For more
information about these cables refer to the following individual examples.
Note that in stand-alone mode for duplex the FE2 ports of both ICAPs have to be
connected via a LAN crossover cable and that the E1/DS1 feeder cables that are
directly connecting to the ICAPs are different for duplex mode from those for simplex
mode.

Detailed procedure descriptions
Purpose
This procedure provides information on how to connect the a/b subscriber cables
(tip/ring cables) to the faceplate of the VDSL AP (VSIM).
As the VDSL AP is used in controlled mode only, no other cables than subscriber
cables have to be connected.
Important! Although the CONSOLE connector above the FAULT LED looks like
a USB connector, it is not a USB connector. It will not work if a laptop is
connected, but attaching a true USB host or peripheral to this port may damage the
USB drivers of this device or the pack.
Cables
The cable assemblies used for VDSL APs are the commonly used a/b cables for most
APs (if nothing else is specified for them):
a/b cable connector Subscriber lines Shielded a/b cables (1×32 pairs) ED7C818-30 G1
Connectorized on one end with a
special AP connector; No external
ferrite kits required
Pin assignment
The following figure shows the pin assignment for the a/b connector. Shown is the
wiring / soldering side of the a/b cable connector which is identical to the contact side
of the AP.

1 Raise the ejector on the front side of the AP until the entire slot is visible and align the
cable connector with the top of the faceplate connector.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
2 Attach the cable connector to the faceplate connector, then press the cable firmly until
it clicks into place.
Result: The FAULT LED on the AP extinguishes.
Failure conditions: If the FAULT LED lights permanently, check the following
possible causes:
• Is the faceplate connector properly fixed?
If the connector is not fixed properly, an alarm tip/ring cable disconnect
will raise.
• Is the cable faulty?
Try another cable.
• Is the AP or the connector on the faceplate of the AP faulty?
Replace the AP.

Purpose
This procedure applies to the ESIM used as application pack. For cabling the ESIM as
controller (in LAG 200 Shelf), refer to “Wiring for ESIM used as controller ” (p. 7-75)
.
This procedure provides information on how to connect optical fibers (up to eight Fast
Ethernet downlinks to subscribers) to the small form factor pluggable (SFPs) modules
attached to the connectors F1 to F8 on the ESIM faceplate.
Assumptions
The ESIMs are inserted in the correct slots according to the work order.

Detailed procedure descriptions Wiring for ESIMs used as APs
The cables for the downlinks are installed in the rack or cabinet and fiber cables are
preferably routed through a separate optical cable duct, if possible.
1 CAUTION
Laser hazard
Lightwave digital transmission systems and associated optical test sets operate with
invisible laser radiation. Laser radiation can cause damage to the skin and
considerable injuries to the eyes. This applies particularly to the connections of the
optical packs. Although, at present, the transmitting power levels for Class 1 lasers
are below those known to cause injury to the eye at distances greater than 250 mm
(≈ 10 inches) direct exposure should always be avoided.
Don’t look into the end of an exposed fiber or optical connector of a pack as long as
the optical source is switched on. Never view any unterminated optical connector with
optical microscope or magnifying glasses as long as the laser source is switched on.
Always test with an optical power meter or infrared detectors that the fiber is
de-energized and ensure that the laser source can not be activated during inspection
with the microscope.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
2 Insert the correct SFP modules (see labeling on the SFP module) in the appropriate
Fast Ethernet ports (1 to 8) on the ESIM faceplate.
Note that the cables have to be inserted from the bottom up – the downlink port 8 first,
then 7, 6, { 1.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
3 Obtain one radius clip per fiber to connect to a Fast Ethernet downlink port (1 to 8).

Purpose
This procedure provides information on how to wire the IPADSL2_32p APs, that is
wiring information for the pack when it operates in controlled mode and for
stand-alone mode.
This procedure describes:
• How to connect the ADSL2+ subscriber cable to the faceplate of the IPADSL2_32p
AP
• The cabling for the uplink to the IP network. An uplink is required for stand-alone
mode only.
The OAM&P connection to the LAN port LAN1 of the AP and the serial connection to
the CONSOLE port for initial system turn-up also apply to stand-alone mode only. The
LAN connection is done via a commercially available standard 100Base-T cable as
described in “OAM&P Connectivity” (p. 2-13). It is not subject of this procedure.
Important! Although the CONSOLE connector below the FAULT LED looks like
a USB connector, it is not a USB connector. It will not work if a laptop is
connected, but attaching a true USB host or peripheral to this port may damage the
USB drivers of this device or the pack.

Procedure
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
1 Connect the cable connector which is labeled ″POTS″ to the POTS connector on the
faceplate of the AP so that the cable exits the connector downwards. The keyed profile
of the connector will prevent you from attaching the connector in the wrong direction.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
2 Connect the other cable connector which is labeled ″POTS-ADSL″ to the POTS-ADSL
connector on the faceplate of the AP in the same way.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
3 Tighten each connector with two screws, one at the top and one at the bottom of each
connector.
Result: The FAULT LED on the AP extinguishes.
Failure conditions: If the FAULT LED lights permanently, check the following
possible causes:
• Are the faceplate connector properly fixed?
If a connector is not fixed properly, an alarm tip/ring cable disconnect
will raise.
• Is the cable faulty?
Try another cable.
• Is the AP or a connector on the faceplate of the AP faulty?
Replace the AP.

Create/modify a VLAN
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
Use this procedure to:
• Create a VLAN on an IPFM, ESIM, ICAP, LPZ600, LPZ602, VSIM or on an
IPADSL AP.
• Enable or disable a filter for the incoming packets on an IPFM port, ESIM port,
VSIM port or on an IPADSL port.
• Provision the acceptable frame types on an IPFM port, ESIM port, VSIM port or
on an IPADSL port.
• Provision the PVID for individual ports on a VSIM AP.
For the VSIM AP, the PVID is also provisionable. It is not automatically set to the
VLAN ID of the untagged VLAN. Ports on the VSIM AP can be provisioned as
untagged in multiple VLANs. It is recommended that the PVID is set to the VLAN
ID of one of the Untagged VLANs.
When creating a VLAN, the following provisionable items are required:
• VLAN Type
• VLAN ID
• VLAN Name
• Broadcast Storm Control (optional)
• IP Address (only applicable for Layer 3 VLANs; not applicable for VSIM APs)
• Subnetmask (only applicable for Layer 3 VLANs; not applicable for VSIM APs)
• Associated ports and egress rule per port
• Port VLAN ID (PVID) including Ingress Filter and type of Acceptable Frame.
Background on VLANs
The AnyMedia ® Access System system supports three types of VLANs:
•
– ″Normal″, port-based VLANs, including shared VLANs
– Layer 3 VLANs
– Tunnel VLANs (also known as QinQ or stacked VLANs).
• Each VLAN is linked with an ingress and an egress rule.
• Additionally to the ingress rules, classifying and policing is supported (see Chapter
4, “Quality of service”)
• VLANs must be provisioned separately on every single pack.
• VLAN configuration must be carefully planned through the whole network, or data
loss might occur.

Detailed procedure descriptions Create/modify a VLAN
• VLANs support MAC learning and broadcast storm control (note that VSIM APs
support broadcast storm control on a per pack basis only)
• There is no distinction between upstream or downstream except for tunnel VLANS
(for tunnel VLANs, downstream ports can be provisioned as QinQ access ports or
QinQ ports. Upstream ports can only be provisioned as QinQ ports). All ports are
treated identically. Only the physical connection makes a difference.
Not all packs support all VLAN types. The table below shows which VLAN types are
supported by the individual pack types.
ESIM × × × ×
IPADSL2_32 × ×
AP
Port-based VLANs
• Port-based VLANs form broadcast domains:
– Broadcast messages are forwarded to all members of a VLAN, but not to other
ports.
– Unicast messages with a known MAC address are only sent to the
corresponding port.
– Unicast messages with unknown MAC address are broadcasted.
– Multicast messages are only sent to all ports which have members of this
multicast group. Membership is learned by IGMP.
• The VLANs are identified by their VLAN ID

Detailed procedure descriptions Create/modify a VLAN
• The AnyMedia ® Access System supports VLAN 1 to 4092. VLAN 4093 and 4094
are reserved for internal use.
• Ports are assigned to a VLAN with egress rules:
– Untagged
– Tagged
– Shared.
Note that egress rules are not provisionable for the LPA633 in stand-alone mode,
therefore the procedure below is not applicable in this case.
• Each port can be member of many VLANs, but only one can be untagged (except
VSIM).
• Each port has a PVID (port VLAN ID). This VLAN ID is used to tag untagged
packets for internal use. Default PVID for all ports is ″1″.
• Each port has ingress rules. A filter, which is enabled or disabled can be defined.
Notes:
1. A VLAN ID is valid, when the port is a member of this VLAN.
Shared VLANs
There are applications (e.g. video broadcast), where it might be helpful to split
protocols in different VLANs (e.g. control data and video stream).
• VLAN unaware subscribers connected to a port can only be member of one
untagged VLAN. To allow splitting traffic into different VLANs, a shared VLAN
must be used (or better: the port must be a shared member of a VLAN).
• A shared VLAN is unidirectional (not unicast), but is expected to transport
broadcast or multicast traffic.
• Broadcast traffic (e.g. video) from the ISP can be sent tagged (preferred) or
untagged, but it will be untagged at the subscriber ports.

Layer 3 VLANs
Layer 3 VLANs (L3 VLANs) allow routing in the packs of the AnyMedia ® Access
System.
• For L3 VLANs the packs support routing on VLAN base, not on port base.
Therefore the IP address is not assigned to a port, but to the VLAN.
• When an IP address (and subnet mask) is assigned to a VLAN, this VLAN
becomes a L3 VLAN and is internally connected to the router.
• Routing is only supported between L3 VLANs
• If routing is done between tagged VLANs, the VLAN ID of a routed packet is
changed.
• Subscribers on a L3 VLAN should have their default gateway set to the IP address
of this VLAN.
• L3 VLANs may support inband management. If L3 VLAN OAM access is desired,
then the L3 VLAN has to be provisioned at initial system turn-up.
• L3 VLANs are (optionally) used on VoIP APs to segregate different traffic types
like RTP, Signaling and OAM (in stand-alone operation or for ROCs of subtending
remote terminals).
Tunnel-VLANs
Tunnel-VLANs (also called QinQ or stacked VLANs) support an additional (outer)
VLAN tag on a packet.
• The additional tag is the VLAN ID of the tunnel-VLAN.
• A port can be member of a tunnel-VLAN being a QinQ -port or QinQ -access
-port.
• Packets at QinQ-ports have the additional outer VLAN tag, QinQ -access -port do
not.
• Packets received at a QinQ-access-port are forwarded to a QinQ-port by adding the
additional tag.
• Packets received at a QinQ-port are forwarded to an access port by deleting the
additional tag.
• Packets received at a QinQ-port are forwarded unchanged to QinQ-ports.
• If a port is member of a tunnel-VLAN, it cannot be member of normal port-based
or L3 VLAN.
• It is strongly recommended to only send tagged frames to a port, which is member
of a tunnel-VLAN, because there is no way to distinguish between a tunneled
untagged packet and a tagged not tunneled packet.

In the Port List field right click in the Egress Rule field of the selected port and
select the applicable egress rule for this port. The ports 1 to n are the links to the AP
slots. Then go to Step 12.
Additional Info - The following VLAN egress can be selected:
• Egress Tagged (standard VLAN)
To frames that are transmitted from these ports, a 4-byte tag including the VLAN
ID will be added (or kept if already contained) to the MAC frame header.
• Egress Untagged (standard VLAN)
Originally tagged frames that are transmitted from these ports, become untagged
(the tag field will be removed). An untagged frame remains untagged.
• Egress Shared (standard VLAN)
Egress shared refers to overlapping VLAN domains.
The ingress VLAN assignment (PVID setting) is derived from the provisioned egress
untagged VLAN membership of that particular port.

the tunnel-VLAN to the tagged port will be transmitted as double tagged packet
and the VLAN ID in the outer tag will be defined by the VLAN ID of the
tunnel-VLAN.(for tunnel-VLANs only)
• QinQ-access-port (for tunnel-VLANS only)
Any packet received on the port will be tagged with a second 802.1q tag regardless
of the tagged/untagged type of the original packets. The VLAN ID in the outer tag
will be defined by the VLAN ID of the tunnel-VLAN. Any packet to be forwarded
from the tunnel-VLAN to the port will be transmitted with the second IEEE
802.1Q tag removed.
A given port can only be defined as QinQ-access-port in one tunnel-VLAN. A port
can only be provisioned as a QinQ-access-port if it is not in any non-default
standard VLAN or any tunnel-VLAN.
The ingress VLAN assignment (PVID setting) is derived from the provisioned egress
untagged VLAN membership of that particular port.

Drop yes/no drop the packet; do not an attribute of this type
forward cannot be combined
with other attributes
Note, that the selection of 802.1p or IP DSCP or IP Precedence will change the data in
the packets.
Provisioning recommendation
If user data is given the same priority by placing it into queue 3, it is possible that
internal management packets will be discarded due to possible congestion of this
queue.
In strict priority scheduling mode it is suggested that queue 3 is either not used for
any user data to avoid this potential loss of internal management packets.
If this queue is used for user data, you must make sure there is no ability to congest
the backplane interface (100 Mb) with user data and that at least 5 Mb (without
overhead) is reserved for the management traffic. Thus, the combined upstream traffic
rate from all VSDL ports must not exceed 95 Mb with overhead included.
If WRR scheduling mode is used, the bandwidth reserved for the highest priority
queue must be sufficient for internal management traffic which is bursty in nature. A
weight of no less than 5 should be used for queue 3. Again it is still recommended to
avoid using queue 3 for user data. If it is used, user data cannot exceed the Queue
Weight - 5. Thus, if the Queue 3’s Weight = 20, user traffic must not exceed 15 Mb.

Purpose
This procedure is used to provision the IPFM or the ESIM (the ESIM is used as
controller pack in a LAG 200 Shelf) for quality of service (QoS). QoS is supported on
each port, no matter, whether upstream or downstream. Default settings exist for each
table type for the different levels, so that if nothing specific has been provisioned by
the operator, each packet is sent to its destination.
This procedure is subdivided in the following subprocedures:
• Provision/modify the classifier rules
• Provision the scheduler.
Note that it is the operator’s responsibility to create consistent entries in the classifier
tables. When inconsistent table entries are combined in a classifier rule, that rule will
not be hit.

Detailed procedure descriptions Provision the IPFM/ESIM for QoS
The packet flow through the pack is impacted by the following components
• The packet decoder extracts data from all Ethernet-packets received.
This information is used by the classifier/policy to perform the table comparisons
and to fill the address tables of the forwarding block.
• The forwarding block uses tables (MAC address tables, routing tables,{) to
distribute the incoming packet to the right ports.
Parts of these tables are filled automatically (MAC learning), other parts are
provisioned (static routes,{).
The functions performed by this block are:
– L2 switching
– L3 routing
– Multicasting, broadcasting (including broadcast storm control)
– Spanning Tree Protocol
– Link aggregation
– Address learning
– VLAN support
– Label forwarding (including MPLS, double VLAN, priority tag forwarding)
• The classifier/policy block compares the parameters of the incoming packet with
compare tables and generates output rules how this packet has to be handled.
The compare lists are provisioned. There is only 1-classifier/policy block for all
ports. The compare lists allow checks on dedicated port numbers.
• The scheduler/prioritizer block controls the output queues for each port.
There is one dedicated scheduler per port. The scheduler controls the packet flow
from the queues to the port.
• The prioritizer controls the distribution into the queues. It also can set/change the
802.1p priority of a transmitted packet.
• The queue engine consists of a queue multiplexer (controlled by the prioritizer) and
the queues.
There are 8 queues per port, represented by the queue priorities in the classifier
rules. These rules also map service classes to the queues.

Prioritizer rules
• There are 8 queues per output port
• Strict mapping between output queue and queue priority (queue 0 has priority 0,{)
• The outgoing 802.1p bits are equal to the incoming 802.1p bits
• Prioritizer only uses queue priority
Therefore it is recommended to mapping high SC priority to high queue priority.
Do not assign different SCs to the same queue priority.
• Queue priority is determined by:
– Classifier rules table entry (if defined)
– 802.1p bits (if no queue priority is defined)
– TOS/DSCP bits (if no 802.1p bits are available)
– 0 (else).
Provisioning rules
• User table entries are sorted by their input; first entry gets Nr. 0.
• Table entries cannot be manually re-ordered.
• Default table entries are always last in the tables.
• Table entries are checked from start (0) to end (63, 127, 511 respectively).
• The first match in each table ends the look-up process.
• L2/L3 group table entries should be entered with the longest sub-net mask first.
This ensures longest prefix match.
• Packet queue priority and service class in the classifier rules table should carefully
be matched. Do not assign different service classes to the same queue priority.
• It is strongly recommended, not to use more than 4 queue priorities.
• Do not map different service classes to the same queue.

Purpose
This procedure is used to provision the VSIM APs for quality of service (QoS). QoS is
supported on each port, no matter, whether upstream or downstream.
The procedure is subdivided into two subprocedures:
• Provision/modify the classifiers including classifier rules, and policies including
policy instancies and policy attributes.
• Provision the scheduler.

Each policy-attribute:
– Defines a single action, that will be performed with a packet. Actions could be:
output queue to use, discard, redirect, change 802.1Q priority, change IP
priority, IP precedence
– Several actions can be performed with the same packet, but not all combination
are allowed.
Policies cannot share policy instances. If policies should contain identical policy
instances, these policy instances must be created in each policy.
• There are up to 8 classifiers.
Each classifier:
– Is identified by a number (automatically assigned) and a user-defined name
– Can be linked to several policy instances.
– Contains up to 6 classifier rules.
Each classifier rule contains a comparison type (and value).
Dependent on this, packets that match the comparison will then be handled by
the policy attributes of the linked policy instance.

• A packet that enters the VSIM pack passes the packet decoder, which extracts
information from each packet.
• This information will be handled by the policy to which this port is linked. A port
can only be linked to 1 policy.
• The packet is then checked by each classifier linked to the policy via the policy
attributes.

• If a classifier result indicates, that the packet must be processed, the policy marks
the packet with the policy attributes.
• Only the policy attributes of the policy instance, to which the classifier is linked
are valid (a policy attribute links only 1 classifier).
• The corresponding actions indicated by the policy attributes are not performed by
the policy function block, but by subtending function blocks (e.g. forwarding
block).

If the software upgrade is an application patch only, the service outage will be
approximately 10 seconds. If the software upgrade is a full software upgrade then the
service outage is at least 30 seconds.
In order to determine which type of software upgrade is relevant, compare the old SW
version number and the new SW version number. The example below shows how to
distinguish between a patch and an upgrade.
Initial SW version 03.00.01.00 -001_001
Patch 03.00.01.00 -002_001 If there is any difference after the ″-″.
then the SW upgrade is an application
patch and the service impact will be
brief.
Upgrade 03.00.01.01-001_001 If there is any difference before the ″-″,
then the SW upgrade is an application
upgrade and the service impact will be
greater than for a patch.

Detailed procedure descriptions
Purpose
Use this procedure to activate the system log facility on individual AnyMedia IP packs.
That includes the installation of the Kiwi Syslog Daemon, which is part of the GSI
software delivery, on the local PC and to start logging.
Optionally these logs can also be logged by some other RFC3164 compliant syslog
server on a different host than the GSI.
Important! The various options of system logging should be used for diagnostic
purposes only. Setting tracing options during normal operation will decrease the
overall traffic capacity of the individual pack(s).
Background
Some packs provide the possibility to send RFC3164 compliant syslog notifications.
• The ICAP allows logs of
– Megaco control protocol
– Protocol errors
– Control events.
• The VoIP APs LPZ60x allow
– RTP tracing
– SLIC Log.
In any case the Kiwi Syslog Daemon which is part of the GSI software delivery or a
separate syslog daemon has to be installed before.
Assumption
The syslogd.exe file is available. In a standard GSI installation it is located in the
path C:\ProgramFiles\AnyMedia\GSI\Syslogd.exe.
Procedure
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
1 Execute once the syslogd.exe file to install the Kiwi Syslog Daemon.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
3 For a system in controlled mode connect to the IPFM, or directly connect to the ICAP
or the VoIP AP if the pack runs in standalone mode.

Purpose
Use this GSI operation in a duplex system to force a side switch from the active IPFM
to the protection IPFM. After this procedure has been performed the Operational State
of the previous standby IPFM has changed to IS and the previously active IPFM has
become the new standby IPFM.
Background
The active IPFM does not automatically update the protection IPFM with provisioning
changes. The provisioning information of the protection IPFM is synchronized only
when an Save to NVDS operation is performed manually by the operator. As a result,
if a side switch occurs prior to an Save to NVDS operation, the system will revert to
the last saved configuration.
Assumptions
Make sure that the following assumptions are fulfilled:
• The system is provisioned for duplex operation.
• The protection pack is in the OOS (Out of service) or STBY (Standby) operational
state.
• The two IPFMs are of the same type.
• A software download, database back-up, database restore, or software activation
process is not in progress.
Procedure

System initialization
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
This procedure uses the GSI to initialize the IP subsystem. The operator has three
options for the level of system initialization. These options and their impact on the IP
subsystem are described in “Background” (p. 7-347).
Note that the term controller is used whenever the IPFM or ESIM is used as
controller in an IP subsystem. The ESIM is always inserted in to slot 1 from LAG 200
Shelf and in simplex mode configuration.
Background
When initializing the system the operator has the following options
• Clear All Pack Configuration
This partial system initialization results in:
– All AP configuration data is cleared. The APs will reset.
– The configuration file for APs on the controller is deleted.
– All other provisioning on the controller will remain intact.
• Clear System Configuration except Management IP Address and Routing
Information
This partial system initialization results in
– All AP configuration data is cleared. The APs will reset.
– The configuration file for APs on the controller is deleted.
– All controller configuration data is cleared with the exception of the
management IP address, subnet mask and routing information.
– Both controller (if in duplex mode) will reset. The system ends up in simplex
mode with the active controller in the preferred slot.
– Except for the management IP and route information, the controller return to a
default (unprovisioned) state.
• Clear all System Configuration.
This full system initialization results in
– All AP configuration data is cleared. The APs will reset.
– The configuration file for APs on the controller is deleted.
– All controller configuration data including the Management IP address and the
Routing table is cleared.
– Both controller (if in duplex mode) will reset. The system ends up in simplex
mode with the active controller in the preferred slot.
– The controller return to a default (unprovisioned) state.

CAUTION
Service-disruption hazard
Initializing the system database in a given shelf interrupts IP service to all end users in
the shelf and, depending on the level of system initialization, clears all provisioning on
the controller.
Execution of a full system initialization also drops the operations communications links
to remote GSIs or NAM.
Do not use this procedure on an in-service system. It should normally be used only as
a part of initial system installation and system turn-up procedure.
Procedure

ADSL-lite (Universal)
A version of asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) that is less expensive than
full-rate ADSL and that operates at a lower bit rate than full-rate ADSL. This version of
ADSL is specified in ITU-T G.992.2.
ADSL2/ADSL2+
ADSL2 and ADSL2+ are two new standards for asymmetric digital subscriber line
(ADSL) technology specified in ITU-T G.992.3 to ITU-T G.992.5. These standards are
specifically designed to improve the rate and reach of ADSL largely by achieving better
performance on long lines in the presence of narrowband interference. ADSL2 achieves
downstream and upstream data rates of about 12 Mbps and 1 Mbps respectively,
depending on loop length and other factors. ADSL2 accomplishes this by improving
modulation efficiency, reducing framing overhead, achieving higher coding gain,
improving the initialization state machine, and providing enhanced signal processing
algorithms. As a result, ADSL2 mandates higher performance for all standard-compliant
devices.
ADSLAP

Unavailability
In general, steady-state unavailability is defined as the fraction of time that the system is
not available, or equivalently as the average downtime per year. Unavailability is often
expressed in minutes per year of downtime. In engineering applications, unavailability is
frequently expressed in terms of its complement, that is the availability. For a digital
channel, unavailability or downtime begins when the first 10 consecutive severely error
seconds (SESs) occur, and it ends when the first of 10 consecutive non-SESs occur.
